Eight Gigs: Jackie Gage

Wed., Dec. 2, noon, The University Union at Sacramento State, no cover

Before Jackie Gage moved to the East Coast earlier this year, she was one of the best singers San Jose had to offer. Her silky, soulful voice strikes that balance between from-the-heart passion and measured control. She is back on the West Coast for a short weeklong tour and fortunately, Sacramento is one of those stops. She is calling this the #yourlovetour in celebration of her latest single “It's Your Love,” which, like the best of her music, marries classic, sultry soul with smooth-as-butter jazz. The song is a teaser for her upcoming 2016 full-length album, Siren Songs. 6000 J Street, www.jackiegage.org.
